Adel says, "The holidays are upon us, and with them, the inevitable question of what to bring to the numerous parties we find ourselves obligated to attend. This cake is my go-to emergency dessert. It's rich without being heavy, elegant without being fussy, and best of all, impossibly easy to make. For an extra festive touch, try cutting some snowflakes out of paper and sifting some powdered sugar on top for a stenciled effect."
